Well crap I’ve been eating the wrong onions this whole time! I LOVE onions but I eat more of the white and Spanish onions over red. My mom has acid reflux and can’t have too many onions without upsetting her stomach. I can certainly start making more foods for myself with the red ones though.
We do pretty well with the berries. I love blueberry flavored everything like granola bars, fig bars, Greek yogurt, etc but eating raw blueberries is more challenging to me. I recently discovered I love blackberries but my all time favorites are strawberries and raspberries.
I’m not that great when it comes to the red meat department. I love beef and chicken but I usually cook those in a pasta dish. Still working at getting better recipes and branching out from just pastas. We’re growing a larger garden this spring compared to last year so I’m hoping to cut back my spending at the grocery while eating much healthier
A cup of red onion has a little over 100 grams. However, the quercetin in natural foods is more bioavailable than in supplements, so you don't need as much.
How much quercetin do we need a day? Not for Covid. I read it’s around 18-24mg? Isn’t 500mg a lot more than we need? Or is that only when you have Covid?

Chicken and other poultry also have zinc.
As far as onions go, the outer layers hold the most quercetin. Red onions have the most, yellow onions next, and white onions the least.
How much red onion to get a day’s supply of quercetin ? I like to pickle mine. Sounds like a nice big bowl of salad will get my zinc and ionosphere
